4 cups baking apples, peeled and sliced
2 cups sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (1/2 cup canned evaporated milk may be substituted for the whipping cream)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9-inch-by 13-inch baking pan; set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the apples and 2 cups sugar.
  • In another medium mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the apple-sugar mixture; stir well; set aside.
  • Place the eggs into a small mixing bowl and beat well with an electric mixer or hand held egg beater. Add the oil and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; beat.
  • Stir the egg mixture into the apple mixture, blending until thoroughly moistened.
  • Stir in the pecans.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly pressed. Serve with warm Sweet Butter Sauce.
  • SWEET BUTTER SAUCE INSTRUCTIONS: In a small, heavy-duty saucepan, over low heat, melt the magarine. Add the sugar, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream or evaporated milk; stir. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and cook 3 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples. Use a variety of apples that are good for baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Peel and core the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Make the sauce while the cake is baking. This will give it time to cool and thicken.
  • Serve the cake warm with the sauce.
